Use Resource Lists
Resource Lists let you select titles and resources in your collection for various purposes, such as to print labels, run reports, or perform catalog maintenance. A list contains title records and all associated copies. It can be owned by an individual, have co-owners, be private, or be public to a local site or across the district.
